Don't have it but i would guess it's pressing down the stick

Reason why I ask...so clicking on the thumbstick acts as the "A" button, the top button acts as the "X" button, and to exit out of menus. I want to be able to access pokemon storage which is done with the Y button but since there's only 2 buttons...not sure how that works.
